This is kind of a dumb question, but I am struggling to fine tune some issues with my 1983 Sportfire. Is there a top side to the exhaust manifold? Right now the center brace cut out is facing up. Is this correct as shown in the photo? I say dumb, because if I disconnected, flipped, and checked the a...

I was able to locate a recoil. Thank you JDsleds and members for the ability to post and get responses in locating a needed part.

I am looking for a recoil starter in good working condition. I am not sure if a recoil starter from a Trailfire would also match and be the same part? I do need a recoil with ability to mount and hook up the oil injection pump. Please let me know if you have one available, photos would be helpful to...

sounds like only firing on one side like Todd mentioned. I would check the intake manifold gaskets. If sucking air on one side, would cause this problem.

send me a message of the details and price. thank you.

I am looking for a good used or new plastic fan shroud. M68332.
I probably can run without one, but I think the sled will run a little warmer than designed.

Thanks. I made the decision to do a custom build last year at the Frontenac Vintage show in February - The pictures show a 1983 Trailfire on the side, which is all original including the decals, windshield, seat cover, etc. The sled looks brand new, all I did was rebuild the entire fuel delivery, pu...

Nice. I will order a pair tonight.

I am looking for one or preferably a pair of the plastic/vinyl ski insulators that are located between the ski and leaf spring. Part #M63052. I found them on the New Breeds website but they show as "out of stock". I would like to find new or reproduction new, but used would also be accepta...

I took a beat up Sportfire that had a cracked up hood, broken headlight bezel, rough running engine, and tore up seat and went to work. I started by rebuilding the fuel delivery system - cleaning the tank, rebuilt the fuel pump and carb, and lines. Then pulled the engine and put in new pistons, ring...

Maybe I rediscovered something that everyone else already knows. And maybe I will be told that black shoe polish has long term negative effects. However, I decided to shine up the old snow flap on my 1983 Sportfire and 1983 Trailfire, and found that black shoe polish worked excellent and restored th...

Thank you very much guys. I will look up and buy the Polaris shock.

I did look at the newbreeds website but was not sure if one of their shocks would match up. thanks.

I am looking for a ski shock for a 1983 JD Sportfire. New or used will work, so long as it is not leaking oil. Thank you.

Both my 1983 Sportfire and 1983 Trailfire have pop rivets that attach the hood straps. But now I know what to do - I will grind or drill the back and re-attach with bolts and lock nuts on the back. Thanks for the help guys.
